Comparative Genomics
Using Fungi as Models
Av Per Sunnerhagen, Jure Piskur
Inbunden, 2006
2183 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Fungal comparative genomics started in 2000 by the genome sequencing of several yeast species other than the canonical Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Since then, over 30 fungal genome sequences have become available. This set represents a total evolutionary divergence comparable to that between …

Lägg i varukorg
All living cells are strictly separated from their surroundings by a membranous lipid bilayer. Into these membranes a variety of transport proteins are embedded that ensure the uptake and secretion of various molecules and ions. In order to respond properly to a changing nutrient supply or demand, …
Molecular Biology of Metal Homeostasis and Detoxification
From Microbes to Man
Av Markus J. Tamás, Enrico Martinoia
Inbunden, 2005
3272 kr
Lägg i varukorg
One of the challenges faced by every cell as well as by whole organisms is to maintain appropriate concentrations of essential nutrient metals while excluding nonessential toxic metals. Toward that end, all organisms have developed mechanisms for metal homeostasis and detoxification to maintain …
Regulatory Mechanisms of Intracellular Membrane Transport

Inbunden, 2005
2183 kr
Lägg i varukorg
For life to be understood and disease to become manageable, the wealth of postgenomic data now needs to be made dynamic. This development requires systems biology, integrating computational models for cells and organisms in health and disease; quantitative experiments (high-throughput, genome-wide, …
Microbial Protein Toxins
Av Manfred J. Schmitt, Raffael Schaffrath
Inbunden, 2004
2249 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Since the initial establishment of Robert Koch’s postulates in the nineteenth century, microbial protein toxins have been recognized as a major factor of bacterial and fungal virulence. An increasing number of proteins produced and secreted by various bacteria, yeasts and plants are extremely toxic …
Fine-Tuning of RNA Functions by Modification and Editing
Inbunden, 2005
